Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.

Sushi is a kind of food made with a mixture of cooked or raw fish, vegetables, and rice. Although Sushi is most commonly considered to have its origin in Japan, it actually began in China during the 7^th Century.
At that time, any fish caught had to be preserved. Raw fish was cleaned and then pressed between layers of heavy salt. After a couple of months, the whole process was complete. Over time, a discovery was made that by rolling the fish in rice that had been soaked in vinegar the fish was easily fermented (发酵) in a few days rather than months. The rice was then thrown away and the fish was eaten. However, with a food shortage, people began consuming the rice as well as the fish and thus, Sushi today as we know was born. However, in the 1800s, a famous chef by the name of Yohei created two styles of Sushi—one called Edo, and the second, Osaka, for two cities.
Sushi is usually consumed with hot green tea. Also, Gari is offered free and eaten between bites to create a better taste. Two kinds of sauce are usually available: one is soy sauce, which is poured on most kinds of Sushi; the other is a thick sweet sauce used on eel (鳗鱼).
Sushi has taken the world by storm and today is a multi-billion dollar industry. Its popularity continues to rise because people are looking for healthy food that is quick and easy to make. With such unbelievable popularity as well as the health benefits of eating Sushi, it is likely that this food will continue to be a part of everyday life for many more centuries to come.
小题1:Two kinds of Sushi, Edo and Osaka, were probably named after _______.

A．the chef’s name	B．their birthplaces
C．the name of fish	D．some kinds of food

小题2:When people eat Sushi, Gari is used to _______.

小题3:Why do people like Sushi today?

A．It is cheap and delicious.

Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.

When Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances almost as clearly as if they were in the same room. Nowadays, though, we increasingly use Bell’s invention for taking photographs, accessing the internet, or watching video clips, rather than talking. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone.
The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modem mobile handset（手机）. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modem cities began to feature sharp-suited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became the same with the “yuppie”, the new type of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us said that we would never own a mobile phone.
But in the mid-90s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 80s had changed into smooth little objects that fitted nicely into pockets and bags.
Moreover, people’s timekeeping changed. Younger readers will be amazed to know that, not long ago, people made spoken arrangements to meet at a certain place at a certain time. But later Meeting time became approximate under the new order of communication: the Short Message Service （SMS） or text message. Going to be late? Send a text message! It takes much less effort than arriving on time, and it’s much less awkward than explaining your lateness face to face and the text message has changed the way we write in English. Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important when you’re sitting on the bus, hurriedly typing “Will B 15mm late - C U @ the bar. Sorry! -).”
Alexander Graham Bell would be amazed if he could see how far the science of telephony has progressed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say “That’s gr8! But I’m v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite.”
小题1:What does the underlined part in Para.2 refer to?

A．Houses of modern cities.	B．Sharp-suited characters.
C．New type of professionals.	D．Mobile phones.

小题2:According to Paragraph 4, why did Meeting time become approximate?

A．People were more likely to be late for their meeting.

B．SMS made it easier to inform each other.

C．Young people don’t like unchanging things.

D．Traditional customs were dying out.

小题3:If you want to meet your friend at the school gate this evening, which of the following message can you send him?

A．Call U@ SKUg8 2nite.	B．IM2BZ2CU 2nite.
C．CU@ the bar g8 2nite.	D．W84U@ SKUg8 2nite.

小题4:What does the passage mainly tell us about?

A．Alexander Graham’s invention.

B．SMS as a new way of communication.

C．New functions of the mobile telephone.

D．The development of the mobile phone.

No budget for your vacation? Try home exchanges ---- swapping houses with strangers. Agree to use each other’s cars, and you can save dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too.
Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including Home Exchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28,000 listings, this company bills itself as the world’s largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year.
The annual fee is usually less than US$100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot.
However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come steal your TV. Besides, at the same time they’re staying in your home, you are staying in their home.”
Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction.
Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they depart, but one person’s idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than another’s. Some owners say if they come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges.
小题1:What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．How to exchange homes.

B．The biggest home exchange agency Intervac.

C．The fact that home exchanges are not new.

D．A contrast between Intervac and Home Exchanges.

小题2:How do home exchangers normally begin their communication?

A．By phone.	B．Via a matchmaker.
C．By e-mail.	D．Via a face-to-face meeting.

小题3:What is recommended in the passage to deal with the concerns about theft and damage?

A．One can file a lawsuit in court.

B．Both parties can trade online.

C．One can damage the home of the other party in return.

D．Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand.

Your youngest son or daughter has just graduated from high school, and soon he or she will trade his or her bedroom in your home for a college residence hall. You’re starting to worry about the coming silence in your home and are wondering how you will fill the hours that you previously spent with your son or daughter attending his or her school and sporting events.
Take heart — the empty nest “is often worse in anticipation (预料) than in day-to-day practice”, says psychologist Bert Hayslip Jr.
Hayslip, who has studied retirement adjustment (调整) and other aging problems, such as aging sleeplessness, for many years, points out that, more often than not, children who leave do not completely cut off contact with their parents. He advises parents to think of it as a series of life events, instead of a sudden change. He also says an empty nest can cause bigger problems to surface “if a couple hasn’t looked after their marriage while raising their children”. According to Hayslip, some couples may find they no longer have anything in common once the children are out of the house.
Thinking of an empty nest as the loss of children makes the adjustment more difficult. “With the empty-nest syndrome (综合症), parents actually need to deal with the loss of the parenting control over children, not with having really lost their children,” Hayslip says. “They just have to find a new way to get along with their children.”
“Relating to their college-age children in this new way will come easily to parents as the months pass. As with many things, the passage of time heals the pain of loss,” Hayslip says.
小题1:What does the “empty nest” mean?

A．Children’s cutting off contact with their parents.

B．Children’s not liking spending time with their parents.

C．Children’s growing up and leaving home.

D．Children’s not accepting parents’ care and love.

小题2:What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

A．Retirement adjustment.	B．Aging problem.
C．Sleeplessness.	D．The reality of empty nest.

小题3:Why do many parents find it hard to adjust to the empty-nest life？

A．Because they think they have actually lost their children.

B．Because they often disagree with their children on many things.

C．Because their children completely cut off contact with them.

D．Because these parents don’t have anything in common.

小题4:According to Hayslip, what parents actually lose in an “empty nest” is _______.

A．their children’s love for them

B．their control over children

C．their interest in life

D．their contact with children

When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.
Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!
小题1: What do people basically wear clothes for?

A．Looking attractive to others.	B．Following the fashion.
C．Appearing successful to others.	D．Keeping warm and covering bodies.

小题2:The main reason why clothes are sometimes very expensive is that _______.

A．one has to buy new clothes	B．these clothes are in fashion
C．the cost of the cloth is high	D．making clothes costs much

小题3: We can learn from the passage that _______.

A．expensive clothes are not any warmer than cheap ones

B．fashion is not always changing

C．expensive clothes are warmer

D．fashion designers like expensive clothes

小题4:What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Fashionable clothes shops.	B．The clothes that some people have.
C．Cupboards for storing clothes.	D．Shelves used for keeping books.

小题5: What is the passage mainly about?

A．Suits and ties.	B．Clothes and fashion.
C．Beauty and success.	D．Cost and pastime.

The structure and workings of the university are ever changing. The university of the past is not like the university of the present and the university of the present will not be like the university of the future. This “adaptation” to the times is what can make some universities great or make some universities among the worst in the nation.
In the past the university was very set in their ways. They did things the way they wanted them done. They paid no attention to the rest of the society and the way the ones paying the bills wanted them done. In the past the professors would lecture endlessly to the students, which often left the students bored and with no idea what was really said to them in the lecture. This is no way to try and teach students; students need interaction with the professors that are paid to teach them. As Paulo Freire believed there needs to be communication between the students and the professors and the class should not be totally memorization. This is the way that things were done in the past.
In the present many universities have either changed or are changing the way that they run their universities. The universities now are taking on many of the modern educational beliefs in order to make changes in the teaching methods. Universities are breaking down many of the divides between majors that they offer. By breaking these barriers the universities are becoming less specialized and more diverse. This goes along with the ideas of Berry who believes that the schools are over-specialized and that the universities are now just machines that are merely meant to produce workers. In the past few years the colleges have been lowering the standards of admission, which in turn lowers the standards of all the schools below the college level. The universities are now on the right track by increasing the standards of admission into their colleges.
小题1:In the author’s view, what can decide a university’s quality?

A．What its structure is like.	B．How its workings are run.
C．What times it belongs to.	D．Whether it’ll adjust itself.

小题2:Which of the following is NOT a feature of universities in the past?

A．They were run in a fixed way.

B．They ignored the needs of society.

C．They had lower standards of admission.

D．Professors lacked interaction with students.

小题3:What is the author’s main attitude towards universities in the present?

A．Positive.

B．Doubtful.

C．Passive.

D．Uncertain.

小题4:What would the author most probably focus on in the following part of this passage?

A．Universities in the future.

B．The standards of schools.

C．The admission into some colleges.

D．Other changes of teaching methods.
